As we approach 2016, multiculturalism in U.S. schools is taking on new a dimension. GenZ, ages 2-19, is the most diverse and multicultural of any generation in the U.S., and studies show that multicultural education is integral to improving academic achievement and preparing all students for success.

EverFi is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Florida Commissioner of Education to bring our 306: African-American History course to hundreds of schools across the state of Florida. The Commissioner of Education’s African-American History Task Force (AAHTF) is an advocate for multicultural studies in Florida’s school districts, teacher education training centers, and the community at large. Through the partnership, the AAHTF has mandated that all districts use EverFi’s 306: African-American History in order to achieve ‘exemplary status.’

Laden with imagery and sound, the 306 course is dynamic, immersive, and interactive. Students can take control of their own journey and travel through eras of African-American history at their own pace. The course is designed to address the skills and proficiencies outlined in the Core State Standards for writing and literacy in History and Social Studies.“EverFi’s 306 course is a great learning experience for my U.S. History students. It brings African American History to life, and offers in depth knowledge on important African Americans and events that helped shape America. 306 is a fun, interactive program that allows students to make a personal connection to the people they are studying. Students come into class excited to tell me about the lessons and what they learned from the course,” said teacher Laura Rutherford, Logger’s Run Middle School in Boca Raton, Florida.

EverFi is excited to help districts and schools meet exemplary status, and our on-the-ground activation team has already begun training teachers across the state, including Hillsborough County, Alachua County, Miami-Dade County and Duval County.
